I finished my first week of teaching. It was quite grueling, and even though I left myself time to get enough sleep, I had difficulty sleeping on several nights. By the end of the week I was exhausted and I got a minor sore throat. Please pray that it won’t develop into anything worse.
I enjoyed getting to know some of the students, but overall, I can’t say I enjoyed the past week. Even though I had notes written out for my lectures, there were still many times when I fumbled with my words as I was trying to figure out what to say exactly. Not knowing what to say when you are presenting in front of a large audience is such an uncomfortable feeling.
Pray that I would have a positive attitude in all of this. I tend to be pessimistic, but I thank God that he is teaching me to trust in Him. Pray also that I would be able to get the sleep I need.
